I have this data and need to do the average only of the numbers which cells are colour in Yellow, these cells are the abnormal values as per the trend,

eg:- for Row 8 cell Y8 have an abnormal values to fix this it will take the average of X8 & Z8
eg:- for Row 9 cell K9 have an abnormal values to fix this it will take the average of L9 & M9
eg:- for Row 11 cell AH11 have an abnormal values to fix this it will take the average of AF11 & AG11
eg:- for Row 13 cell U13 have an abnormal values to fix this it will take the average of T13 & V13

As it is an hourly trend, i am not able to find the best way to fix it, as it's a very long hours of task, is there a better way to fix this. VBA will also do.

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Sort by date Sort by votes
So, do you want to replace the numbers in yellow with the average from the readings to the left and right of it?

If so, there are a number of things you will need to define/clarify:

1. What is the rule/threshhold to determine if a value is "abnormal" or not?
I mean, just by looking at row 7, you can see that the numbers vary greatly as you go across.
So you need to define the conditions that must be met to consider a record to be abnormal, as we need something to program against!

2. Is it possible that the first or last value in your list could be an abnormal value?
If so, how is that determined and how is that to be corrected?

3. Is it possible to have two or more "abornmal" values in a row?
If so, how is that determined and how is that to be corrected?

1. What is the rule/threshhold to determine if a value is "abnormal" or not?
A:- It is the graph trend, ref the screen shoot.
> row 7 data is ok as per the graph it came down and slowly it is coming up
> row 8 data is ok till 13 hour but a hug drop on 14 hour and suddenly on 15 hour it jump up.

> row 12 data is ok as per the graph it came down and slowly it is coming up
> row 13 data is ok till 9 hour but a hug drop on 10 hour and suddenly on 11 hour it jump up.

2. Is it possible that the first or last value in your list could be an abnormal value?
A:- Yes it could be possible if the first record is abnormal, then take the average of next 2 cells and if last cell have abnormal values then take average to pervious 2 cells

3. Is it possible to have two or more "abnormal" values in a row?
A:- Yes it may be possible


I hope i am able to answer it as the best possible way, it will be great if there is way or solution to this.

I really don't know how to quantify a "sharp" drop.
Excel typically deals in formulas, not pictures or words.

Perhaps you can use some of Excel's line "smoothing" features or process for finding "outliers".
I really don't work much with lines or charts, but there is a lot of information that can be found out there with Google searches, such as these:

Its also my concern, as how to fix this, i will come back to this if any logical way, or any vba to get it fixed

If you want us to do something via VBA, I think we need a formulaic way to determine exactly what constitutes a "sharp drop" - that needs to be quantified.
I am not sure if one of those other things I referenced or some other sort of statistical process can identify those for you without coming up with your own definition/rule for that.

It might by a too rough measure but how about using TRIMMEAN?
